One of my highlights from the most recent Other Voices series, The Antlers are returning to these shores to appear in the Academy on 24 May. Their latest offering Hospice has received wide acclaim with lead singles 'Two' & 'Bear' earning repeated plays around these parts. Critics have particularly praised the narrative of the album which tells the story of a man losing a loved one to cancer. However, the album is not actually about cancer and the illness is in fact a metaphor for bad love. The story sits comfortably side-by-side the wholesome folk/indie soundtrack. Read more here. This one comes very highly recommended.
Our whenever-we're-arsed feature, born out of a series of outrageously giddy and hyperbolic text messages proclaiming whatever song we happened to be listening to at the time to be 'The Best Song In The World'.
Resulting confusion necessitated the 'Today' qualifier to be appended.
About Us
Beyond the Big Wave is a place where you’ll find self-involved and over-stated thoughts on records, gigs, life, politics and other (generally music-related) drivel. Expect unreasonable derision, baseless hyperbole and petty one-upmanship in abundance throughout our endeavours. We fully intend on stealing the internet connection from our helplessly oblivious neighbours.
